Are all avocados from California?

Answers

Not all are, but 95 per cent of the avocado production in the USA is done in California, with 60 per cent of that happening in San Diego County. The avocado is native to the Caribbean, Mexico, South America and Central America and was introduced to California in the 19th century from Mexico.

The vast majority of avocado production in the United States happens in California, but by no means is California the world’s only avocado powerhouse. Mexico is the world’s largest producer of avocados, with over 300,000 acres dedicated to avocado orchards.
